It also has a sort of space-agey feel - like the feathers are buildings floating in space.Amy Rnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34677887.post-31407853479136786102013-02-27T14:12:34.104-06:002013-02-27T14:12:34.104-06:00wowza this quilt is great!

I love to really meditate and think about the person I am making a quilt for while I am working it makes the love put in even more special. I too enjoyed QuiltCon and loved getting to meet you a few times during your busy days! can&#39;t wait to see more :)Emilyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17927766214813617152noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34677887.post-77099740452923213052013-02-26T17:58:28.908-06:002013-02-26T17:58:28.908-06:00By the time my hubby and I got there, it was Denys...By the time my hubby and I got there, it was Denyse&#39;s slot at Stitch Lab, but did BUY some goodies at the booth.

Isn&#39;t it funny how littlest babies get some things so much earlier in their lives than older siblings, sometimes...if Roman gets his lovely feather quilt soonish, years &#39;before&#39; Nicolas. Though maybe the big boys have had other quilts, too. I&#39;m looking forward to getting down to cutting for a quilt for my bigger boy, who&#39;ll probably be 5 before he gets it...and his younger brother maybe soon after.<br /><br />And then such talk reminds me of your littlest one. I hope you&#39;re still feeling well and (mostly) enjoying being so full of a wonderful person!Jenny Mnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34677887.post-14668199190353810552013-02-26T12:45:35.533-06:002013-02-26T12:45:35.533-06:00Hi Jenny, thank you!

This will make a lot more sense, I am sure once you see Nicolas&#39;s quilt later this evening :) (perk is that I have a bit left also for a possible start for Roman :))Anna Maria Hornerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01562036255369261828noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34677887.post-91283496627186495072013-02-26T11:54:06.462-06:002013-02-26T11:54:06.462-06:00Gorgeous!

But a...Gorgeous! Sounds like such fun fabric play.<br /><br />But a question -- six yards of selvedge-to-selvadge strips?? Why so much, since each feather is just a few inches across? It seems like oh-so-much, even given that you&#39;ve varied the placement to get a nice range of fabrics among the feathers. Am I understanding right?
